this is mitt's first time on this kind of a stage. >> reporter: ryan's words echoed a memo from romney adviser beth myers who said the president was widely regarded as one of the most talented political communicators in modern history. myers even pointed to a cnn/orc poll showing a 25-point advantage for obama on who voters think will win the debates. the obama camp likes to remind voters the president hasn't had as much time to prepare for the debates because he's busy being commander in chief. when it comes to just how much debates matter, it depends. >> most often debates don't make that big a difference. very few candidates ever win an election with a debate. but quite a few have lost an election with a debate. so it can matter. >> reporter: these match-ups can produce some memorable lines. like in 1980, between then-governor ronald reagan and president jimmy carter. >> there you go again. >> reporter: and lloyd bentsen's swipe at fellow senator dan quayle in 1988. >> i served with jack kennedy. i knew jack kennedy. jack kennedy was a friend of mine. senator, you're no jack kennedy

the vice presidential candidate, paul ryan, was in ohio yesterday. listen to what he had to say about obama's foreign policy. >> i think the president on too many occasions has deferred our foreign policy leadership to the u.n. security council, to the u.n. this means russia and china get to veto what we want to do. why do we want to give them that kind of clout over our national security interests? >> ryan also compared obama to jimmy carter saying these images of violence overseas looks like tehran in 1979, that hostage crisis that undercut carter's re-election bid. you know, this is really fascinating, john. this is the main thrust of the romney campaign right now, is foreign policy. not the economy. >> it is interesting, carter, by the way, jimmy carter a four-letter word among republicans. but while the president is facing this criticism, he has decided not to meet with foreign leaders and not to have the bilateral meetings that are somewhat traditional at the u.n. general assembly meetings. but he's gone on "the view." we talked a lot this morn
